Six variances for accessory structures granted at Twin Lakes Drive after owner cites decades-long placement
Summary
Planning staff and the homeowner described six separate setback variances for accessory structures at 6001 Twin Lakes Drive (code-enforcement case 25-197); the board approved all six variances after the owner said some structures had been present for decades.
Planning staff (Hillary Peyton) presented six variance requests for 6001 Twin Lakes Drive in the Twin Lakes Manor subdivision to bring multiple accessory structures into compliance. The requested variances ranged from north-side encroachments of several feet to several south-side reductions; staff said a code enforcement case (25-197) prompted the applications and that two adjacent neighbors sent letters of support.
The homeowner, who identified himself as Francisco Roberto, told the board, "We didn't know that we weren't in compliance… some of this stuff has been there for over 32 years," and said one shed was moved 4 inches after inspector direction. No members of the public spoke in opposition. After questions from the board about the age of structures and neighborhood notice, a board member moved to approve; the motion was seconded and carried. Staff noted the property borders Orange County jurisdiction on the south side.
